Passive sampling device for ambient air and personal monitoring
Abstract
A high performance passive dosimeter has been developed and evaluated as a monitor for volatile organics in ambient air and for short-term, low-level personal monitoring applications. The dosimeter design was dictated by three major areas of concern: (1) diffusive mass transport considerations; (2) sorbent selection, and (3) chemical quantitation of the collected compounds, which intimately involves desorption procedures of the passive device.
